Square Plate - Platypus by Takunobu Sawada

Vessels that convey the warmth of handcraftsmanship

The animal patterns are not drawn with a brush but created by scraping away the slip-coated surface.

Each line has movement, resulting in a unique and warm finished product.

Takunobu Sawada, whose father is a Kiyomizu-yaki potter, has been familiar with pottery since childhood and has already been creating ceramics for 20 years.

At just 30 years old, he is a highly skilled craftsman who has reached the level of a veteran.

Sawada, who combines youthful sensibilities with refined techniques, creates unique vessels that are distinctly Kyoto.

Please experience their charm in your daily life.
